GETPFSVAR

Field of Application

Function for recovering saved variables.

Syntax GETPFSVAR(<sexp>[,D])

<sexp> is the name of the variable (uppercase characters only).

D optionally specifies that the variable is to be deleted

after recovery.

Remarks

This function is used to recover variables registered to be saved at power

failure by means of a SETPFSVAR statement and returns either -1 on

success or 0 at failure.

If a D ﬂ ag is included, the variable is deleted after it has been recovered.

This can be used to make sure that the variable is up to date and that no

old obsolete value is recovered.

Related instructions are SETPFSVAR, DELETEPFSVAR, and LIST-

PFSVAR.
